I would appreciate a full 3fps, but 2.5 from the D50 has done fine for me until now. -Adam Jack Davis wrote: > The slower than advertised continuous shutter speed is not a deal > breaker for me either.

Re: dpreview's hands-on K10D preview is up
The slower than advertised continuous shutter speed is not a deal breaker for me either. Only a remote possibility it would ever be "needed". I feel a "rush" over owning this unit, but it'll be a few weeks...probably. I just want to calm down a bit. ;) Hope your plans go well.

Re: dpreview's hands-on K10D preview is up
Thanks, Lawrence. Dinner was ready about the time I got to this point and my wife was calling. ;-)) I see a "mirror up" setting, but only as a part of the sensor cleaning process. I was looking for shutter delay (2 sec.) pre-lock.(?) Did I miss that too?

Re: dpreview's hands-on K10D preview is up
Measured on their prototype at 2.4 fps vs the 3 fps claimed ... well, for me that's just not an issue at all. It's fast enough. I rarely shoot more than one frame at a time. I'll order a body as soon as is convenient and sensible. I have travel coming up, then I'm back for a month, then I'm traveling again. Would be nice to have it asap but no rush ... I rarely take anything on travel I haven't had a few weeks to work with and be familiar with all its foibles.

It helps a lot when you're evaluating exposure in weird lighting to know where you might be blowing out a channel.

Re: dpreview's hands-on K10D preview is up
As mentioned in the preview, the continuous shutter speed rate certainly does sound slower than the alleged 3 fps. Hope the fact that it's a pre-production example is the explanation. Noted a preview shutter speed typo.(?) 1/8000. Anxious to see custom function listing. Not sure I'll be able to wait for the dpreview "review" prior to placing an order. I get the feeling that when it happens, it'll probably be a "back order".

RE: dpreview's hands-on K10D preview is up
Wow ;-) Most of what's presented here is known, but it sure is nice to see it. Based on the specs this camera will give significant improvements in about 20-30% of my photographing. I'm talking speed, AF speed, shake reduction, and 30% more room for cropping. If the improvements they claim in IQ comes true, it will affect most of my photographing. Is there really something like a free lunch ;-) The weather sealing could also open up a new world of motifs. I like water, I like rain, and I like mist. I already play with it, but sealing will make me a lot more relaxed. And relaxing will probably make me more creative. There's one surprise here I like. Nothing really important, but I like positive surprises. It has histograms for separate for separate colour channels. I can see that coming handy when shooting in stage light.
